Detectives said they have suspects in the case, persons of interest, but without more information from the public they're unable to push the case forward.

Now, the victim's family is hoping for a phone call that would change that.

Sandra Cheatham said she knows every single picture and every single page of a photo album of her son, Tyrone Cheatham, because for nine years it is all she's had of her son.

"A sickness you can understand, an accident you can accept, but just a cold-blooded murder, that's a hard pill to swallow," said Cheatham.

On May 14, 2005, police responded to an apartment complex on Sebree Lane.

"We got dispatched on a stabbing run that night. When officers got there, he was lying on the stoop of the apartment complex," said Sgt. Donny Burbrink with the Louisville Metro Police Department's cold case unit.

Tyrone Cheatham, 37, died on the way to the hospital. Sandra Cheatham said good bye to her oldest son at the funeral home.

"I had to do that, I had to see him, had to tell him bye, even though he didn't hear me. He didn't know I was there but I did," said Cheatham.

For nine years, police have worked the case, Burbrink said he's not discouraged by the time that has passed.

"There's still people who live in that community, probably never left that community, heard things since then and just didn't think it was relevant at the time. Those are the people we want to hear from," said Burbrink.

People that Sandra Cheatham hopes can bring her closure, because in her photo album there's one empty page where where she hopes to put news of an arrest.

"I don't want to add anything else but that," said Cheatham.

Police were adamant Wednesday that they believe this is a case that can be solved, but they need tips from the public.

Detectives said even the smallest details, like the color of a car seen in the area that night can make a big difference.

Tyrone Cheatham was killed in the 4000 block of Sebree Lane on May 14, 2005 around 9:45 p.m.
